I came across this crazy looking bus, that runs in Vegas, that says it's a streetcar/tram but it is actually a diesel bus. o.O It runs with an ISE/Thundervolt transmission and is hybrid. I wonder what they are doing with no more ISE around? I guess you could call this bus light rail on a budget!! xD

Between the monorail, the double decker buses and this Vegas must have the weirdest transit fleet anywhere.

Of all the times I've been to Vegas, I've never had a chance to ride their transit system unless you count the monorail. The double deckers and the "streetcars" look like fun. I hope I can make another trip out there soon!

Essentially just a BRT style articulated bus; not much different from Cleveland's Healthline.

Wrightbus is the same company that provided the kits put on Optima chassis.

Update: Also when someone mentions a streetcar that's not a streetcar, I think more of the Schaumburg or Elkhart trolley, not an imitation of a 2014 Bombardier.
